Senate Debates P O Reform With Anti Pornography Provisions
The Senate advances a postal reorganization bill with a strong anti pornography measure. A 83-2 vote backs the House language on pornography, while rejecting House bill amendments. The plan creates a nonpartisan postal commission and rate board, with an 8 percent postal worker pay rise and a possible union shop ban. A right to work amendment and other proposals face further votes as the Senate weighs wage, rate, and labor provisions.
